_*CHARACTERS:*_

*Finley Wade:* Female lead. 20's to 30's. She's a private investigator
who considers herself a voice of reason in the crazy world around her.
We'd like to see someone who could not only shoot herself out of a
hopeless situation but might scream like a little girl when discovering
the unexpected dead body. She is in a relationship with Zelda.
*Zelda: *Female lead. 20's to 30's. Finley's live in girlfriend. A
method actress, she takes on a new persona every time we see her. She's
funky, off beat and totally original. Piercing and or tattoos are great.
*Walter: * Male lead. 20's to 30's. Zelda's brother. He is Finley's
partner but is more interested in the trashy romance novels he writes.
He takes everything in stride, including being shot in the first episode.
*Crazy Girlfriend: *Female supporting. 18 to late 30's. Walter's crazy
girlfriend. She likes to help him reenact sex scenes from his trashy
novel in public places.
*Tony: *Male supporting. 20's - early 50's. He's a cop and Finley's cousin.
*Constance: Female supporting. 40's - 50's. *A grieving widow*. *
